COVID-19 UPDATE: APRIL 6, 2021
Our business hours are weekdays 9am until 4pm (closed weekends and holidays). Due to
increased COVID-19 transmission rates within BC, we are now operating with storefront pick-up
and drop-off only. We are not accepting cash at this time.
Customers in line for pick-up must stand 6’ apart and wear effective masks over the nose and
mouth at all times. All service or order inquiries will be conducted exclusively by email or
telephone.
Our staff will perform self-serve operations on your behalf. Please send your requests and files
by email to zaporders@uvss.ca and include your full name, phone number, self-serve
username, and print specifications. Files may be sent as email attachments or unrestricted
cloud storage links (i.e., “anyone with the link” may download). USB flash drives will only be
accepted if file names and locations are given in advance.
Future updates will be posted here as well as to Instagram (@zapcopy).
About
Zap Copy is a not-for-profit printing service and retail shop.
We offer quality printing and supplies for students and the local community. As part of the University of Victoria Students’ Society, all profits go back to students in the form of advocacy, events, and other services.
Our team of current and former UVic undergrads understands that student life is about more than just schoolwork. We’re here to show you how to do more than print an essay; our goal is to provide a creative, supportive space that celebrates the diversity of our community.
